Nifty closed 22,520.45 (+1.30%), Sensex 72,472.33 on 9 Oct, ending an 8-week losing streak. Nifty support 22,300-22,200; resistance 22,800-23,000. CPI at 4 pm.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Stock market outlook today points to a mild positive start, with GIFT Nifty trading near 22,620 to 22,650, up 20 to 47 points from the previous Nifty futures close, after the Nifty rose 1.30% to 22,520.45 and the Sensex gained 879 points to 72,472.33 on Friday. The rally ended an eight-week losing streak, Wall Street closed higher with the Dow up 0.83% to 51,654.95, the S&#038;P 500 up 0.59% and the Nasdaq up 0.64%, while Kospi fell about 2.6% and Nikkei was flat, so Asian cues are mixed. For the Nifty, analysts see immediate resistance at 22,800 and then 23,000, with support at 22,300 to 22,200, and a break below that could bring fresh selling. Today&#8217;s triggers are September CPI inflation at 4 pm, HCL Tech&#8217;s results after the close and the RBI&#8217;s recent rate hike, so a gap-up may need confirmation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Stock market outlook today is shaped by a relief rally from a weak base, since the Nifty is still about 15% below its September 2024 peak and foreign investors have been net sellers all year. Crude near $100 to $103 a barrel, US yields near 5.24% and the rupee near 95.75 against the dollar remain the main external pressures.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning trades or investments for the session, this article covers the stock market outlook today in terms of GIFT Nifty and global cues, Nifty and Bank Nifty levels, the day&#8217;s triggers, sector and stock ideas, scenarios, the risks and what to watch next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
